The concept of using a computer to bypass cell phones and landlines seemed like a huge idea earlier this decade. Many voice startups raised tens of millions of dollars in venture money; Jaxtr, for example, raised a total of$21.5 million. But aside from Skype’s misguided sale to eBay, most so-called voice over internet protocol (VoIP) startups haven’t made a lot of money, at least that we’ve heard of. Jaxtr has introduced a variety of for-fee services, including discount international calling plans.

The company’s brand will stay separate from Mountain View, Calif.-based SabSe, although other parts of its technology will be integrated, according to the press release. SabSe offers a “Telephony Applications as a Service” platform and a web-based application programming interface, both intended to help telecommunications companies build quality voice services for the web.
